The Measurement of the Year.
Boston Journal of Education.

The length of the year is strictly 365
days, hours, As minutes, 40 seconds and
seven-tenths of a second-the time re-
quired for the revolution of the earth
round the sun. Abont 10 B. c., Julius
Caesar, by the help of Sosigines, an Alex.
andrian philosopher, came to a tolerably
clear understanding of the length of a
year, and decreed that every fourth year
should be held to consist of 366 days for
the purpose of absorbing the odd hours.
By this rather clumsy arrangement the
natural time fell behind the reckoning, as
in reality, day every fourth year is too
much by IL minutes, 10 seconds, three
tenths of a second, so il inevitably
followed that the beginning of the
year moved onward ahead of the
point at which it was in the days of
Cesar. From the time of the council of
Nice, in 325 A. d. when the vernal equi-
nox fell correctly on the 2lst of March.
Pope Gregory found in 1882 A. D., that
there had been an overwhelming TO the
extent of ten days, and that the vernal
evuinox fell on the llth of March. To
correct the past error he decreed that tie
9TH of October of that year should be
reckoned as the 10Th, and, to keep the
year right in future-the overplus being
Is hours, sc minutes and 10 seconds in n
century-he ordered that eve centen-
NAL year that could not be divided by
four (1700. 1900, 1900, 2100, 3200,) should
not be bissextile, as it otherwise would
be, thus in short, dropping the extra day
three times every four hundred years
While in Catholic countries the Gregor-
ian style was readily adopted, it was not
so in Protestant nations. In Britain il
was not adopted until 1853, by
which time the discrepancy be
tween the Julian and the Gregorian
periods amounted to eleven days. An act
of parliament was passed debating that
the 3D. of September of that year should
be recboned the 14th, and that three OF
every four centennial years should be
leap years. The year 1900 not being q
leap year the new and old styles now diff
fer twelve days, our 1st of January being
equivalent to the 18th old style In Russia
alone of Christian countries is the old
style retained. The old style is still re
tanned in the treasury accounts of Great
Britain. In old times the year was held
to begin on the 25th of March, and this
usage, or piece of antiquity, is also still
observed in the computations of the
chancellor of the British excheguer. Sc
the first day of The financial year is the
9TH of April, being "Old Lady day"

ing, modelling and casting, painting las

thorough and systematic. For ex-
ample, wood carving. Every work goes
through a regular and systematic course,
First the design is drawn on a board,
then the model in clay or wax is super
added and finished with sharpness or
precision; finally the work carved in oak
or walnut is copied from the model. The
designs are thus rendered in a mastery
fashion. All slipshod work or alteration
is avoided. The ether branches of in
dustrial art are carved out on similar
lines of thoroughness.
